"That the Manager consider the request by Rathfarnham Boy Scouts to extinguish an area of land (approx. 18 metres) to the left of their Clubhouse on Marian Road. The land in question is in the open space linking Marian Road and Marian Grove/Butterfield Close. The Scouts require the strip of land to allow them to pitch tents at various times during the year and to increase the amount of outdoor activities that the organiser can engage the children in. The Rathfarnham Boy Scouts is the busiest in Ireland and currently have a waiting list of 80 children anxious to join. By extending the area it would allow the club to offer more activities to the children and accordingly to take in all children eager to join and eliminate the waiting list. The Scouts agree to absorb the cost of replacing the wall after it has incorporated the lands into theirs."

That this Council welcomes the CCMA report 'Supporting Enterprise, Local Development and Economic Growth: Analysis of Local Authority Activities for 2012'; and notes the work of certain local authorities in developing enterprise centres, as well as newer models of 'E Centres' and 'E-Work Centres'; and requests the Manager to examine the feasibility of establishing an 'E Centre' or similar model in this County, in particular in areas not currently serviced by an enterprise centre, learning from the models outlined in the CCMA report which seek to 'utilize existing vacant spaces in local towns' to facilitate "entrepreneurs starting their own businesses by providing e-working and 'hot desking' facilities at low cost in the community' and to provide 'a focal point in the town for the community to drive employment initiatives.'
Minutes of February meeting
"That the Manager expedite the process of completing the transfer of land from Dublin City Council to SDCC (lands to the rere of 77-87 Lower Dodder Road) and to make a statement on the matter."
"To ask the Manager for an update on the issue raised by Westbourne Lodge Residents Association at their meeting with Michael Hannon regarding fencing and planning compliance issues in respect of boundary treatment?"
"That the Manager provide a detailed overview of the matter to date concerning an application by residents living in houses 77 - 87 Lower Dodder Road to acquire and incorporate these lands (map attached) into the individual plots of land adjacent to rear of each property, thereby extending the rear gardens of those residents. It would appear that an application for First Registration was never made by Dublin City Council, however upon request to Dublin City Council following this application this was completed.
Can the Manager establish if the land is now registered and in whose name is the land registered (DCC or SDCC). Secondly is this Council prepared to extinguish the area in favour of the residents? If the land is registered and assuming this Council have no objection to the application by residents can the necessary notification process be commenced?
If the land is not registered can this matter be taken up by the Law Agent so that he in turn can liaise with his opposite number in Dublin City Council.
I understand it is 7 years since residents first sought the application to extinguish. Can I ask that the Manager report back to this Council each month going forward so as to track progress?"
That this Council with the aid of a report on (1) How many fines were issued (2) how many posters were removed, discuss what further action can be taken in relation to the huge increase in illegal postering in the county
